Dukal 5590 - ABD Pad, 5" x 9", Sterile, 1/PK, 25 PK/TY, 16 TY/CS
The Dukal 5590 ABD Pad is a high absorbency wound dressing designed for use in post-operative care and large wound applications. Measuring 5 x 9 inches, each pad is individually sterile packaged to maintain cleanliness and reduce infection risk. The pad features a soft, non-woven outer layer that provides gentle contact with the skin and a fluff-filled inner core for superior absorption and fluid retention. Its sealed edges prevent linting and leakage, making it an ideal choice for clinical and surgical environments.
Key Benefits
The Dukal ABD Pad provides excellent absorbency for heavy exudate wounds, helping to maintain a cleaner wound environment and reduce dressing change frequency. Its non-woven outer layer ensures patient comfort and minimizes adherence to the wound site, which helps promote faster healing and easier removal. The sterile, single-use design enhances safety by reducing cross-contamination risk, and its strong construction prevents fluid strike-through.
Compatibility and Applications
This pad is compatible with a wide range of secondary dressings and can be secured with tape, gauze wrap, or elastic bandages. It is widely used in hospitals, emergency rooms, surgical centers, and home healthcare settings. Typical applications include postoperative incisions, trauma wounds, burns, and large drainage wounds requiring effective fluid management.
Usage Guidelines
Cleanse the wound according to standard wound care procedures. Remove the ABD pad from its sterile pouch and place the white non-woven side directly over the wound site. Secure the dressing in place using appropriate fixation material. Replace the pad when saturated or according to clinical protocol. Do not reuse or re-sterilize the pad.
Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals
The Dukal 5590 ABD Pad is produced in accordance with recognized medical manufacturing standards. It is sterile, single-use, and conforms to applicable FDA and ISO guidelines for absorbent wound dressings. The packaging and labeling identify sterility assurance and compliance with healthcare safety regulations.
Comparison with Competitor Products
Compared with other absorbent pads, the Dukal ABD Pad offers superior fluid capacity and retention while maintaining a soft, non-adherent contact layer. Many competitor products use less dense fill material or have rougher outer surfaces that may irritate sensitive skin. The sealed edges of the Dukal pad also help prevent leakage and fiber shedding, providing a cleaner wound care experience and reducing dressing-related complications.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
Common users include nurses, wound care specialists, and home caregivers managing postoperative or high exudate wounds. It is frequently used in hospitals, surgical recovery units, and long-term care facilities. The pad is particularly suitable for patients requiring frequent dressing changes or those with large, draining wounds that demand high absorbency and reliability.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Store the pads in a cool, dry location away from moisture and direct sunlight. Always check the package integrity before use to ensure sterility. Avoid cutting or altering the pad, as this can compromise its absorption and sealing properties. Dispose of used pads in accordance with medical waste disposal protocols. Never attempt to reuse the product.
Regulatory and Safety Information
This sterile, single-use product is intended for external wound care only. Do not use if the packaging is damaged or opened prior to use. Follow institutional infection control procedures and local regulatory requirements when handling and disposing of used dressings.
